Greenwich - 2014

Out along the Thames, east of London, lies the former seat of royal power of Greenwich. It was also the location of much of England's naval support and training. The Old Royal Naval College, above, was originally designed by Christopher Wren and was built between 1696 and 1712 to be the The Royal Hospital for Seamen at Greenwich. in 1869, the hospital closed and between 1873 and 1998 is was the Royal Naval College.

Greenwich Market

There are still some places in the world that eat eels. apparently, Greenwich is one of them. From the sign on the window, people have been eating eels here since 1890. I think I'll take a raincheck on that.

Back to London

After Malaga, it was back to London again. The folks we sat for near Torrox also have a house in London and invited us to sit for them there. Naturally, we accepted. This house is south of Greenwich so we are a ways out of central London. This means that one of the easier ways to get about is on the buses. The image above is a curiously names bar on the way into town. Our first night at our house sit, we had tickets for a show, so off we went.
